On March 28, 2000, a practitioner named Lai Zhijun, who was the assistant
mayor and also the deputy director of the Peoples' Representative Council in
Fenggang Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, was confined to the
orientation group in Sanshui Forced-labor Camp in Guangdong Province. He
persisted with his practice of the Falun Gong exercises in the camp. For this,
he was savagely beaten and shocked with electric batons. Afterwards he went on a
hunger strike to protest. At the same time, practitioners Jia Guodong, Chen
Jianguo and Xu Yongsheng also went on hunger strikes to demand the right to do
Dafa exercises, and were also beaten and shocked to various extents. Later on,
all of them other than Lai Zhijun were moved to other groups. For insisting on
doing Dafa exercises, Lai Zhijun was beaten and shocked constantly, and was
persecuted to death in a few days. A policeman named Chen Ruihong who might have
participated in the persecution himself (he was later transferred to another
team) witnessed the persecution death of Mr. Lai. The secretary of the director
of Sanshui Forced-labor Camp personally admitted that they killed Lai.

On June 15, 2000, practitioners Hong Haoyuan, Jia Guodong, and Zou Xigui in
Group Three, Team Seven, went on a hunger strike to fight for their right to do
Dafa exercises, and were beaten and shocked with electric batons. Jia was put
into solitary confinement, where he was tortured with electric shocks until his
whole body was bruised. Practitioners Huang Yutian, Chen Jianguo in Group Two
also went on a hunger strike to support the practitioners in Group Three. They
were stripped naked, forced to spread apart their arms and legs and were shocked
with electrical batons. Chen was shocked with five electric batons at the same
time, and Huang was shocked with nine, but they did not move a bit in the
process. The whole matter stunned the police in Team Seven. Team Party Secretary
Mr. Liu and team captain Kong Wenzhong were among those who participated in the
persecution. They either directly or indirectly persecuted Hong Haoyuan, causing
him to die from serious internal injuries.

In Team Five of the Third Division, which was a team designated for Falun
Gong practitioners, those who refused to give up practicing Falun Gong would be
treated especially harshly. They would be forced to clean up toilets, do
physical training, and read materials that slandered Falun Gong. They were also
sometime beaten or scolded, and sometimes put in solitary confinement. They
would not be released even after the terms of their sentences had expired.
